Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 1560: Chapter 1560: Gray Barrier

The Iron Steel Dragon, Black Diamond Lorne thought he had successfully defended against another two attacks, only to find that the steel plate that blocked Bai Jin’s attack was rapidly spreading with ice crystals, sticking steel plates together.

Iyas’s broken Light Arrow transformed into clusters of light mist, threading through the gaps in the steel, piercing into the body of the Iron Steel Dragon, Black Diamond Lorne.

Black Diamond Lorne felt a sting within, looking down to see radiant Holy Light forming interlacing chains, intending to lock him completely in place.

"This is truly an unprecedented attack."

Murmuring to himself, Black Diamond Lorne discarded the steel plate frozen by Bai Jin, splitting more steel fragments from his body, crafting them into sharp blades to cut the Holy Light Chains.

So far, Black Diamond Lorne has separated countless steel fragments.

Even though these steel fragments can absorb nearby steel, their number is not to be underestimated.

However, in Yang Yu’s eyes, Black Diamond Lorne’s overall attributes have only decreased by less than 1%.

Black Diamond Lorne might truly, as his title implies, be able to transform into a giant steel dragon.

Seeing certain traits on Black Diamond Lorne, Yang Yu’s mind flashed with many ways to deal with him, but all would require significant time for preparation.

The current priority is not how to defeat Black Diamond Lorne, but how to escape.

Yang Yu has reached the distance required to use Protective Assistance Charge, yet he didn’t use this skill to rush to Iyas’s side and call Lotcar to take them away.

On one hand, judging from Black Diamond Lorne’s performance just now, he’s not fast but possesses the ability to move near steel fragments; on the other hand, Lotcar is situated in the chaotic battlefield center, merely having a few Demon Soldiers would create trouble for them, greatly reducing the chances of escape.

Thus, Yang Yu plans to avoid the edge while waiting for Lotcar to bring Iyas and the others to the battlefield’s edge.

This is also Yang Yu’s arranged retreat plan for them.

Though Iyas and Bai Jin are supporting Yang Yu, they constantly maintain distance from him, following his movement direction, together moving toward the battlefield’s edge.

The only thing to be grateful for now is the snow is still falling, greatly weakening Ammonval’s abilities.

Ammonval follows behind Black Diamond Lorne, waiting for his injuries to heal while also waiting for the right moment to act.

Unfortunately, the battle between Yang Yu and Black Diamond Lorne is too entrenched, the flames burning fiercely on Ammonval’s body are slowly receding, his hair turning scarlet in places.

The recent fight with Yang Yu vividly remains, as Yang Yu’s eyes seemed determined to utterly defeat him.

Having already lost a weapon, the transformed arm is gradually disappearing; Ammonval doesn’t know whether this is Yang Yu’s tactic of luring enemies deeper, deciding to steady himself this time.

Only when Black Diamond Lorne can no longer hold on, or Ammonval’s own strength recovers, will he act again.

Ammonval lifts his head, looking towards the dark clouds.

The Lord Demon King must be arriving. Or rather, should have arrived!

Upon hearing from the Lord Demon King himself that Yang Yu might have set up an ambush specifically for him, Ammonval was astounded.

Everything as the Demon King envisioned, Ammonval felt immeasurable excitement.

Indeed, he hadn’t chosen the wrong leader to follow.

Lotcar rammed forward, carrying Iyas and Qiuye, blazing a path through the army masses, nearing the battlefield’s edge.

Though Black Diamond Lorne could not utilize any transformation skill, his skills with controlling abilities kept striking consecutively towards Yang Yu’s face, the skill pool seemingly bottomless.

Yang Yu blocked those skills either with a shield or a sword.

Lacking intel on the Steel Clan, Yang Yu couldn’t be completely flawless.

Black Diamond Lorne wrapped in steel fragments, turned into a black cheetah, its sharp black glow cutting through the air towards Yang Yu.

Yang Yu uses Shield Block to receive Black Diamond Lorne’s charging attack, not expecting the cheetah formed by Black Diamond Lorne quickly decomposing on his shield, resembling oil falling to Yang Yu’s feet, restraining him, as sharp spurs rapidly shot out from the quagmire.

Black Diamond Lorne was using this skill named Sharp Needle Hell, a trap attack skill with a temporary restraint.

Trap skills require early setup, becoming effective when someone steps onto it actively.

Black Diamond Lorne made a ’bumper’ attack, attaching this skill onto the gradually peeling steel fragments.

Iyas reacted promptly, raising his hand, and rings of Holy Light surrounded Yang Yu, releasing him from control.

Yang Yu raised his shield, receiving a steel flying charge directly from Black Diamond Lorne, leveraging out of the quagmire.

"So now is about time!"

Lotcar carrying Iyas and the others have reached the battlefield’s edge, with most of Selovomen Plain being flatlands; as long as they sprinted in any direction, Yang Yu believed under the interference of cannon fire, Black Diamond Lorne and Ammonval would find it hard to catch up.

Yang Yu took a deep breath and activated a skill:

"Protective Assistance Charge!"

Yang Yu’s figure instantly disappeared before Black Diamond Lorne’s eyes, the following moment he arrived beside Iyas, grasping Lotcar’s fur with both hands.

"Lotcar!"

Yang Yu softly called the name of the Silver Wolf; Lotcar instantly unleashed all his energy, powerful strength erupted from all limbs, countless Demon Soldiers attempting to prevent the Silver Wolf’s escape, only to be knocked off their feet by the massive silver wolf.

In the sky, Bai Jin continued to launch dense Frost Ice Arrows, bombarding Black Diamond Lorne, while confirming the All Things Library members’ status.

Knowing the plan has failed, remaining here is extremely dangerous, the mages of All Things Library were running deeper into the Selovomen Plain under the black clouds.

Now only Li Yan and Tico stayed in the battlefield, trailing behind Yang Yu’s group to prevent any unforeseen scenarios.

Suddenly, a gray barrier pierced through the sky, quickly spreading, sweeping over Li Yan and Tico.

Trailing alongside Yang Yu’s move, Li Yan halted mid-air, furrowing his brows, his scarlet Dragon Eyes glancing in the direction the Magic Barrier expanded, a hint of unprecedented worry appeared.

This type of Magic Barrier Li Yan had once read in rather ancient texts.

The user of this Magic Barrier, there’s only one type.

--The Demon King!

The ones who can wield such a Magic Barrier are none other than the Demon King!

The Demon King appeared on the battlefield!
